History
SR 119 went as far south as Monticello, now that route is part of State Road 39.
The first path along part of the modern SR 119 roadway was the Plymouth-Goshen Trail. The trail was founded on October 19, 1835, to connect the county seats of Marshall County, Plymouth, and Elkhart County, Goshen. At this time counties built trails to connect county seats with other county seats. Surveyors places wooden posted at one mile interval along the route and documented the entire path.
